Description:
In five (5) months since its Grand Opening, Renegade Gymnastics (LLC) has achieved a leadership position in the community and has developed a strategic plan for achieving maximum value, short-term and long-term growth, and market leadership in the gymnastics and cheerleading industries by providing progressive lessons and team environments for its many students. Currently, over 50 students per week participate with executable growth plans estimating a 400% growth in eighteen months. Additionally, there are currently 4 employees with expansion plans calling for 8 - 10 over the next 24 - 36 months. These will be coaches, instructors, and administrative staff.
Our mission is to (URL removed) service the youth, adolescents, and teens of the Columbia, SC area by providing recreational gymnastics and cheerleading-focused lessons and teams and to become the leading center in the Southeastern United States for developing young athletes into high level gymnasts and cheerleaders in a safe, nurturing environment.
In today’s increasingly competitive and often frustrating world for children, adolescents, and teens, Renegade Gymnastics provides an ideal environment for the physical and emotional growth of its gymnastics and cheerleading students, ages three (3) through eighteen (18).
Renegade Gymnastics provides a valuable service to the community by providing a safe haven for students of all ages. In this modern era in which students are challenged to find alternatives to alcohol, drugs, violence, and various other challenges and problems, Renegade Gymnastics provides a safe alternative for students, both after school and on weekends, to build their self esteem and self respect, and to learn to respect the principles of life that will enable them to successfully lead our next generation positively in the future.
Programs are designed to encourage students to progress at their own rate, based on acquisition of skills, strength, conditioning, flexibility, and mental readiness. With a constant focus on the safety of each student, Renegade Gymnastics offers a progression “step-approach” to building individual and team skills that take advantage of the scientific principles of Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology. Programs range from introductory level / recreational programs through advanced team participation competing at the state, regional, and national levels in both cheerleading and gymnastics. Additionally programs are offered for “after school” children, field trips, and adult fitness.
Our goal is not to have every child win a gold medal but to teach them that a champion is built on their unique strengths within, not only what they can prove on the outside. We want our students to think creatively to develop their own character, both individually and as part of a team.
Additionally, but not to be overlooked, many of these students will rise to the level of skill needed to participate as assistant coaches and trainers, thereby gaining valuable work experience and income. This experience can help provide extracurricular activities that can enhance a resume, help the student get into a college or university, or even get a job later in life.
